Abstract: A wind-resistant room is constructed within a building without a cellar. The room includes a plurality of pre-cast concrete wall panels inflexibly secured to and extending outwardly from a concrete floor slab of the building. The wall panels are interior to and separate and distinct from the exterior walls of the building and are inflexibly connected to one another to surround an interior space within the building. A pre-cast concrete ceiling panel is inflexibly connected to an upper edge of each pre-cast wall panel interiorly of and separate and distinct from the roof of the building. The pre-cast wall panels and pre-cast ceiling panel define a wind-resistant enclosure within the building. At least one of the pre-cast wall panels includes a doorway and carries a wind-resistant door that is selectively extendable across the doorway.
